WR Side panels

jj

Anyone have any new or very good condition white WR side panels for sale?

I recently ordered the GYTR side panels that my dealership told me would fit my WR with the stock exhaust. Guess what, they don't fit! I knew I was right! Oddly enough GYTR doesn't make any panels for the WR only the YZ. The WR exhaust side panel sticks out further to accomodate the larger round silencer.

So! If any of you guys that have switched to after market exhaust and have or would be willing to switch to the YZ side panels and give up your WR panels. PLEASE LET ME KNOW!

JJ, that is bizarr that Yamaha doesn't carry the side panels for the WR!? There is a shop not far from where I live that carries a huge selection of after-market plastic fenders, side covers, et cetera. I will scope it out and let you know what I find. It may be a week though before I can get back to you. I will be scoping out the Grand Canyon for possible future jump. Just kidding! Paul

That is very kind Pmaust. Actually Yamaha does make the side guards as a replacement for the stock part but they charge $65 PER SIDE AND $20 FOR THE HEAT SHEILDS! What a surprises me is that Yamaha doesn't market WR panels in their aftermarket line, GYTR.

I spent a few hours yesterday going through my all of my catalogs including Tucker Rockie and P-Unlimited and found nothing for just the WR. They all market thei panels for the YZ/WR i.e. YZ panels!

JJ, I've been riding WR's for almost 4 years and I have always ordered the YZ side panels. In fact I just put a pair on my 98 before I sold it, no problems whatsoever. But I usually buy the after market ones because they seem to be cheaper. If you buy the YZ side panels you will need to trim the left panel to accomodate the coolant overflow. Usually this is illustrated on the plastic "for WR cut here". I wouldnt waste my money on genuine Yamaha plastic (it is a little better though) but not worth it in my opinion especially if you put backgrounds on them like I do. Good Luck! Dan
